The dog had walked far because it was June 2nd at the lake. The large lake nearby offered plenty of opportunity for an adventurous dog.
Ralph quickly came across Harley on the water. The dog wasn’t alone either.
Harley proved to be an excellent swimmer thanks to his retriever heritage. It seems that retriever breeds and hybrids cannot get over their love of the water.
Harley was paddling alongside a baby deer on the verge of drowning in the middle of the lake.
The Goldendoodle continued to paddle, helping to keep the distressed fawn afloat. The fawn might be trying to swim for the first time.
And Harley’s presence was lucky for the fawn. There is never a certainty that a dog friend will come to your rescue in a lake this size.
They arrived at the shore in the end.
The baby deer was subsequently carried to their lawn by Harley, who started tending to it.
Harley would not let the fawn be alone, saying, “I met you while saving your life, therefore now we’re buddies.” His persistence looked unwavering.
This was not an option because the fawn’s mother was nearby and eager to reunite with her youngster. Harley, you may have spared its life, but you’re no deer!
The doe circled about in search of her young.
To Dorn’s yard, she had followed the fawn’s bleats.
Dorn had a complete view. He was aware that his mother would take over at this point. While leaving the fawn outside for its mother to retrieve, he led Harley inside.
Being the cautious mother she was, the doe held off leaving with the fawn until Dorn and Harley had vanished from view.
The two separated after being reunited.
The following morning, Dorn spotted Harley hurriedly hopping from window to window. Dorn opened the front door to check out the thrilling scene outside.
Dorn heard a fawn bleating as Harley dashed for the tree line.
That sounds like it belongs in an old Disney film, doesn’t it?
Before the fawn left permanently, they shared one final moment of snuggling and nose-to-nose contact. Goodbye, buddy!
Harley excels at providing support and comfort since he is a trained therapy dog. He was able to make a friend and provide us with this endearing story because of those two abilities.
Harley typically works with human youngsters, including Dorn’s grandchildren.
But a dog’s love and fierce loyalty appear to speak to everyone.
Ralph Dorn and Harley are unaware of the whereabouts of the mother and fawn. According to Dorn, the fawn was only a few days old when this accident happened.
The article Dorn posted on Facebook received over 100,000 adoring comments.
